    Hey everyone!

    I recently had to set up a small network at home and was surprised by how many different types of ethernet ethernet cable there are out there — Cat5e, Cat6, shielded, unshielded... it got overwhelming fast.

    After digging around a bit, I found this super helpful article that breaks everything down in plain English:
    https://enableit.com/ethernet-cable-types-explained/

    It really helped me figure out what I actually needed (and what I didn’t). Hope it helps someone else here too!
